A good suit is hard to find

A couple weeks ago, I realized that having a baby has changed my body in more ways than one. Aside from a little pooch in my lower abs that won't go away, I've discovered "the girls" have become more like "the old broads."  Yeah, you moms out there know what I'm talkin' about. As I tried on my bikini from my pre-preggo days, I realized to my dismay, the triangle top that looked so cute two years ago was a NIGHTMARE. Like "There's Something About Mary" next door neighbor bad. I ended up wearing a tank top to my daughter's swim class, because nobody needs to see that spectacle. And a bathing suit shopping trip made matters even worse, because bathing suits apparently are designed for two body types: perfect body and matronly grandma. But there's hope! I found this suit (the top is pictured) randomly at some teeny bopper store, and it's perfect. It has a little bit of lift, hides side cleavage, and even has a strap for times when the 6-month-old wants to tug at Mommy's top. And I love the black and white/pink combo. I wore it to swim class last week, everything stayed in place, and I didn't feel self-conscious at all.  Hooray!
